Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when they plan to publish details of the Nature for Climate fund announced in the 2020 Budget on 11 March.
We announced a £640 million Nature for Climate Fund and are developing plans to deploy that funding in England over this parliament.
We will shortly publish a new England Peat Strategy and are consulting on a new England Tree Strategy. These will set out policies and programs to meet our manifesto commitments, driving up tree-planting and peat restoration, working together to address the combined climate and biodiversity crises.
